Seafood Counter

During this cold spell I'm looking everywhere for inspiration. I had to go food shopping the other day and took along my sketchbook. Right by the seafood counter at Best Market in Patchogue there is a small table where you can sit and have tea or coffee (free). I sat there to sketch and may go back and sketch another view from that same spot. You can see the bread bins and the showcase with the fancy cakes.  This cold weather is getting annoying, and tomorrow is supposed to be in the teens. More snow is forecast for the weekend. Grrrrr........

  1. Great sketch! You're really inventive with finding places to sketch. But stay in tomorrow. It's gonna be arctically cold.

  3. Fun sketch -- I like how you even captured the glass case with a slight tint! Can't beat that free coffee, huh?! :-) Stay warm!

  4. Carol - Thanks. Brrrrrrrrrr.... Stay warm!

    Tina, thanks. Usually when I get there they are either out of coffee or out of milk. My timing is usually bad. lol

  5. Gorgeous! I love your use of red and blue. I certainly wouldn't be sketching a seafood counter, as I can't stand the smell! But I love the painting all the same. X Jane http://janeheinrichs.blogspot.com

  6. As much as I like winter, I'm tiring of the season myself. Everything is just so danged dirty! And I've seen very little salt used these past couple of years and the roads get pretty nasty. Love your sketch in the store and look forward to the next view of the bread bins!

    Sherry, thanks so much. It feels like a long, hard winter.
